Year 3

WELCOME!

A very warm welcome to KS2 and Year 3. My name is Mrs Thursby and I am the Year 3 teacher. Year 3 is such an exciting year where we will gradually get used to KS2. There is no afternoon break but we won't even notice...I promise! 

In our classroom, we will have Miss Broxholme, Mrs Scarborough and Mrs Goodacre helping us with our learning. We will be gaining so much more independence through the year and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all as you get used to being responsible for your own jumpers and snacks! 

We had such a fantastic transition morning and I can't wait to be your next teacher! I know we are going to have lots of fun learning!

 Welcome to Year 3 and the AutumnTerm!

Our topic for the Autumn term is called Walk Like An Egyptian! This brilliant topic will focus on the gift of The Nile, the iconic images of the pyramids and the religious beliefs of the Ancient Egyptian people. We will also learn a great deal about what life was like in these Ancient times. During this fascinating topic we will also consider the theories of what happened to the famous Pharaoh Tutankhamun. 

I can't wait to get started and see the wonderful work produced! Take a look at our classroom display and hopefully you'll be inspired to get started with your learning!

introduction to Ancient Egypt KS2

The ancient Egyptian civilisation began 5,000 years ago when people started building villages next to the River Nile in north-east Africa. It lasted for around 3,000 years. The river was an important source of water in a hot and dry desert landscape. It enabled the ancient Egyptians to grow lots of crops like wheat, barley, fruit and vegetables.

ACTIVE SPELLING ZONE!

Each week Year 3 will be learning a different spelling rule. We will be working on these spellings every day so if you wanted to support your child and practise them at home each star provides a list of our focus words. There is no formal test but any consolidation is helpful to embed these spellings. The lists are also very useful to recap any previous learning.
